N. Jackson St. on the east.

E. Michigan St. on the south. Note that Michigan St. itself will be open to thru traffic.

Road closures during Trump's visit

Drivers heading home from the fireworks and Maier Festival Park could face detours related to the presidential visit.

Ald. Bob Bauman criticized the president for his Wednesday night arrival and associated cost for the city.

“This visit is purely political, allowing the president to attend a fundraiser and then take part in a PR event for the future Foxconn operation in Racine County,” he said. “This visit will cost city taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars in police and DPW overtime and operations and not one penny is reimbursed by the federal government.”
